We would like to welcome Deanna S. Reid back into the 1966 house as she introduces us to some more amazing fashions this time by Woman’s Touch Apparel. We had the amazing opportunity to interview Deanna and she spilled the deets on everything from photography to fashion. Enjoy and don’t forget to scroll to see more of her editorial look book.
1966: What was the inspiration or deciding factor that motivated you to enter the world of photography?
Deanna R.: My father bought me my first point and shoot camera when I was in middle school. I always snapped pictures with family and friends. In college, I bought my first professional camera and shot my best friend’s audition photos for America’s Next Top Model. From there I started learning the technical aspects of photography from other photographers and online tutorials.
1966: Have you always had a love or passion for taking photos?
Deanna R.: Photography has always been my passion but now it is my goal to pursue it. I’m at the point in my life where my passion for the work is undeniable. The urge to progress is constant.
1966: We absolutely love your fashion editorial pieces, are there any challenges to getting the perfect shot?
Deanna R.: The challenge is not finding the right shot. The challenge or rather the excitement is finding the connection to the subject that builds the momentum to the shots that we want. It’s a collaborative effort.
1966: We can’t get enough of the “Bad Gal” tee but what was your favorite fashion piece from the shoot?
Deanna R.: My favorite piece was the Bad Gal Crop Top Out of Africa Edition. The print is bold and fun!
1966: Lastly Deanna, if you could photograph any celebrity from now or the past, who would it be and why?
Deanna R.: Sorry I can’t choose one celebrity lol. I would do a collaborative shoot with Erykah Badu and Solange. They are beautiful women who embrace individuality and creativity in music and fashion.
